Living in Consciousness ~ Indi(r)a's Weblog of Bhakthi, Bhukthi and Bhoomi

Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving (and a wonderful weekend to those non-US readers too). We spent the day with friends and of course eating too much food. It was a classic Indian celebration: curries and koftas, conversation about movies, cacophonic games, more food and then to home to sweet slumber.

For sweet slumber, some good pillows with pretty covers are required. So, I have hand embroidered two pillowcases last week. The design is store bought, printed on the fabric and it is a cross stitch and embroidery combination. The stitches are not perfect but I love how pristine and peaceful the pillows look with the new covers.

Dear Indira, how lovely. I have always found embroidering to be an extremely serene actvity. Once the decisions on design and colours are taken, the stitching itself filled me with such quietness. I used to do it a lot when I was growing up, but now, not really! Seeing your post brought back those lovely memories!
